Swordblazer8 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 No, I am not a scripter No, i am not a Modeler Yes, i can retexture, that is about it. HOWEVER with that said, not knowing how much, or how difficult, the making of said mod would be, I shall post it anyway, the only risk being i will be ignored Falconry: take control of a hawk, owl or falcon (maybe even eagle), depending on skill, to hunt down prey such as rabbits, foxes, and other small game. benefits would be a decreased chance of scaring off the animal before your bird of prey can attack it, and possibly 2x furs (to simulate the more "complete" fur you would obtain from a well executed falcon strike, as opposed to an inaccurate and brutal flurry of arrows). the birds in question would be equippable in place of a weapon, either in main hand or offhand, and would include FNIS compatibility to allow your bird to perch on your arm, as it would in real life. you can then aim at the small game, and click to send the hawk after it (possibly doable using spells, but would require FNIS animations, as well as the ability for your bird to return to your arm afterwards). Hunting strike success would depend on the Marksman, and Sneak skills, with new perks in the marksman tree allowing the use of specific birds (a typical one, such as a peregrine falcon, being the starter). as for obtaining the birds, i really have no idea yet i will NOT make this, as i said, i am no modder, i am merely putting the idea here because it doesn't already exist, and, whether or not it would even be doable, you have to admit, it is a pretty badass idea.

Showzilla Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 cool, another idea would a free fly mode where the bird can go off on it's own and then reports back to you after a preset amount of time, you can command the bird to do a bunch of things (like scout for targets, discover new areas for you and enable fast travel to a place you've never been and even have it warn you of incoming enemies) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fore Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I don't think is possible for modders. This does not only sound similar complicated as dragon animations. It also looks like you want (AI) components which differ from what is available for dragons. And dragons would be the starting point when you make new flying species. FNIS allows new animations. It doesnot provide means for adding behavior logic necesary for an intelligent creature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look to the post above, again, it would be ideal, but overcomplicated, as you said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
